Most of you have heard about the rape of CBS reporter Lara Loga. This was a great take on it. Throughout history men have been foreign corespondents for the simple reason that woman have something to offer beyond nice camera equipment and pithy pontification. The lesson here is if you don't have to be in a crowd stay away. Fer's talked about this time and again. The feeling, to the point of delirium, that many feel in "successful" crowds is hard to describe. This is an honest take from a woman who grew up in South Africa and Israel.

Poor Pollyanna & The Liberal Media

CBS reports a shocker (not): The glorious revolution in Egypt

was marred by the “brutal and sustained sexual assault and beating” of

their chief foreign correspondent Lara Logan (via Erik Rush).

Someone has to say this: So deeply silly is the prototypical,

progressive female in her fantasies of rescuing the world, that she

discards reality. Logan’s rescuers, a couple of clever—presumably

local—sisters, were no doubt clad in the traditional nosebags. Local

sisters are not so careless as to dress immodestly in a country in which

the majority (82 percent)

supports executing adulterers. The left-liberal women of the West

imagine they can walk around Africa or the Middle-East as free as birds,

burdened only by overwhelming love for the locals.

The assault occurred on “the day Mubarak stepped down.” This poor, poor Pollyanna,

and the men and women of the liberal media, will return armed with

assorted rationalizations intended to solve inner-conflict: the rapists

were Mubarak’s men; should be forgiven because of the circumstances,

etc.
